According to a news release issued by the Beaumont Police Department, three men are dead after a shooting broke out around 9:30 p.m. Thursday in the 1000 block of Prairie Street.

The men were declared dead at the scene when officers arrived. They were identified as 62-year-old Preston Wilson, 28-year-old Macgarrett Jack and 29-year-old Joshua Ceasar. All three men were from Beaumont.

A fourth victim was taken to Christus St. Elizabeth Hospital and was treated and released. Another was transported to the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, the release reads.

The men were apparently playing dominoes outside a home when another group approached them and a fight broke out. There were children inside the home, but none were injured.

A dark-colored SUV was spotted by witnesses leaving the scene. The vehicle may be damaged because it apparently side-swiped another vehicle.
